City engineer used government vehicles to run errands: officials

A city engineer had an unusual excuse when he was busted running personal errands with a government van — he’s been doing it for 28 years!

Seyed Mirhosseini, who did bridge inspections for the Department of Transportation, used the vehicle to go to lunch and to make personal trips to the post office, according to an administrative trial finding last month.

But when his boss called him out, he allegedly fired back that it’s fine — because he’s been doing it for nearly three decades , according to a report on the hearing dated Oct. 2.

“I use the van…I never say I didn’t use [it] like this. I use the van to go to the lunch, post office, go and get some food for myself,” he allegedly said.

He also “acknowledged that he has been using the van for his personal use for 28 years” — and griped that it hadn’t been a problem until he got a new supervisor two years ago.

Mirhosseini compared his trips on the city dime to plugging in an iPhone while on the job.

“Respondent analogized that his use of the van to run personal errands was similar to charging your cellphone at work. He asserted that no one complains about using electricity,” the hearing report states.

On other occasions at work, he freely admitted he was zipping off to do personal errands, saying, “If anyone asks, I’m at the post office,” according to the report.

Administrative judge Kara Miller cited several cases in which he broke city rules, including failing to log trips in the vehicle, beginning in August 2016.

She recommended the engineer be fired for misusing government resources and other violations.

A DOT rep didn’t immediately respond to request for comment Friday.

Mirhosseini also didn’t return calls.
